Alex Megos flashes Mr Big 9a (8c+)
Alex Megos, who two days ago made the FA of Tuareg Blanco (9b/+) has flashed Tom Bolgerโs Mr. Big (9a) in Margalef.
How did you prepare for the flash?
The route was right next to my project, so for 2 weeks I watched about 5 different people on the route. I had all the beta in my head after that.
It was very much in control the whole way, but I don't think it's 9a. It felt a bit easy for 9a
